Definitions
- PSTN Public Switched Telephone Network
- DTMF DTMF touch tone codes
- Alarm systems equipped with two-way voice or ambient sound listening functionality have relied upon the same PSTN connection to connect a two-way audio-band voice call between the alarm system and the central alarm monitoring station. In this manner, an agent at the central alarm monitoring station is able to listen to ambient sounds captured by microphones at the premises where the alarm system is installed via the audio-band voice call. Similarly, the voice of the agent is communicated via the audio-band voice call and amplified by speakers and associated circuitry of the alarm system.
- a method for delivery of alarm system event data and audio including detecting, by an alarm system, an alarm event, communicating, by the alarm system, alarm event data to a private telecommunications switch, the alarm event data being representative of the alarm event, communicating, by the private telecommunications switch, the alarm event data to a message processing gateway, evaluating, by the message processing gateway, service parameters of the alarm system, instructing, by the message processing gateway, the private telecommunications switch to contact a central alarm monitoring station if certain service parameters of the alarm system are met, in response to the instructions to contact the central alarm monitoring station, opening, by the private telecommunications switch, a Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) voice channel between the private telecommunications switch and the central alarm monitoring station and communicating the alarm event data to the central alarm monitoring station, determining, by the private telecommunications switch, whether the PSTN voice channel between the private telecommunications switch and the central alarm monitoring station remains open after communication of the alarm event data to the central alarm monitoring station, and, in response to
- PSTN Public Switch
- the method further includes initiating, by the alarm system, a call to the central alarm monitoring station using an telephone adapter in response to the alarm event, and connecting, by the telephone adapter, to the private telecommunications switch and opening a voice channel between the alarm system and the private telecommunications switch based on the call initiated by the alarm system, wherein bridging the voice channel to the alarm system includes bridging, by the private telecommunications switch, the voice channel between the alarm system and the private telecommunications switch with the PSTN voice channel between the private telecommunications switch and the central alarm monitoring station, to create the voice channel between the alarm system and the central alarm monitoring station.
- initiating the call to the central alarm monitoring station by the alarm system includes initiating the call to the central alarm monitoring station according to a telephone number of the central alarm monitoring station, and communicating the alarm event data to the message processing gateway by the private telecommunications switch further includes communicating an identifier of the telephone adapter and the telephone number to the message processing gateway.
- the message processing gateway is further configured to determine whether the alarm system or the telephone adapter is provisioned, determine whether the alarm system is associated with an active customer account, and determine whether the alarm system is capable and configured for a two-way voice channel. Additionally, the message processing gateway may be further configured to communicate the alarm event data to the central alarm monitoring system if the certain service parameters of the alarm system are not met.
- the private telecommunications switch is further configured to indicate to the alarm system that the central alarm monitoring station has disconnected, in response to a determination that the PSTN voice channel between the private telecommunications switch and the central alarm monitoring station has not remained open.
- the dealer 180 is also able to establish or update a type of alarm monitoring service for each customer serviced using the MPG 110 .
- a new alarm monitoring service may or may not include voice monitoring in addition to data (i.e., event code) monitoring.
- Such monitoring parameters may be set by the dealer 180 by accessing the MPG 110 using the dealer computing device 182 .
- the PTS 120 and the MPG 110 may communicate using Application Programming Interface (“API”) web services via the communications link 156 using the communications modules 112 and 121 .
- API Application Programming Interface
- the PTS 120 and the MPG 110 may be integrated as a single computing device, as designated by the hashed outline 170 .
- the database 123 comprises one or more computer-readable storage devices that store computer-executable program code as well as data related to alarm systems, telephone adapters, accounts of alarm monitoring subscribers, alarm system event data, and other associated data. In certain aspects, at least in part, the database 123 stores data similar to the data stored by the database 116 .
- the communications banks 124 , 126 , and 128 are configured to establish a voice channel to the CAMS 130 via the communications link 158 , which may comprise the PSTN or one or more wired or wireless communications links including the PSTN. It is noted that, in certain embodiments, the communications link 158 may comprise communications links other than the PSTN, including communications links that traverse the data network 109 . As compared to the dialer bank 118 , the communications banks 124 , 126 , and 128 may comprise additional circuitry, firmware, and/or software.
- the dialer bank 118 may comprise circuitry for establishing a voice channel between the MPG 110 and the CAMS 130 and communicating data using DTMF tones to the CAMS 130 via the communications link 160 , but not circuitry for facilitating a two-way audio-band voice conversation between individuals via the communications link 160 .
- the communications banks 124 , 126 , and 128 may comprise additional circuitry, firmware, and/or software to facilitate two-way voice communications over the voice channel established between the PTS 120 and the CAMS 130 via the communications link 158 .
- the PTS 120 is configured to open a voice channel to the CAMS 130 and communicate alarm event data and associated information received from the alarm system 100 , as may be modified in certain cases by the MPG 100 , to the CAMS 130 .
- the PTS 120 is further configured to determine whether the voice channel between the PTS 120 and the CAMS 130 remains open after data, such as the alarm event data, is communicated to the CAMS 130 .
- the PTS 120 is further configured to bridge a voice channel between the alarm system 100 and the CAMS 130 , as described in further detail below.
- the agent console 138 may display a street address or geographic coordinates of the home or office with contact information for fire, police, and medical services. Based on the display, the agent 140 is able to assess the event where the alarm system 100 is installed.
- the CAMS 130 facilitates monitoring alarm systems installed at a plurality of locations by one or more agents that assess alarm events and, sometimes, contact service personnel based upon alarm event data received from the alarm systems. For example, the agents monitoring alarm systems at the CAMS 130 may call for fire, police, or medical service personnel to be dispatched based on alarm event data received from a plurality of monitored alarm systems.
- a voice channel may be established between the alarm system 100 and the CAMS 130 .
- the agent 140 at the CAMS 130 is able to listen to ambient sounds captured by microphones of an alarm system, for example, at a location where the alarm system is installed. The sounds may be communicated over a voice channel established between the alarm system 100 and the CAMS 130 .
- the agent is also able to speak into a handset or headset microphone, for example, at the CAMS 130 , and the agent's voice may be communicated over the voice channel and amplified over speakers at the location where the alarm system is installed.
- the communications module 106 of the TA 108 opens a connection to the TA 108 via the communications link 152 . Because, in certain embodiments, the communications module 106 of the alarm system 100 is configured to communicate over wired networks such as twisted pair telephone line PSTN networks, the communications module 108 may expect to receive a telephone dial tone upon opening a connection to the TA 108 . The TA 108 is configured to generate a dial tone upon opening a connection via the communications link 152 . Upon receiving the dial tone, the communications module 108 dials a telephone number of the CAMS 130 and waits for a connection to be opened. While waiting for the connection to the opened, the communications module 108 may receive “rings” from the TA 108 , as would be common when placing a standard telephone call over PSTN networks.
- the system 10 is configured to permit the alarm system 100 to quickly open a communications link and provide alarm event data in response to the detection of an alarm event. It is noted that, in certain conventional alarm systems, the alarm system 100 establishes a communications link directly to the CAMS 130 by placing a telephone call to the CAMS 130 via the PSTN. In that context, depending upon the status of the CAMS 130 , the CAMS 130 may or may not accept the telephone call quickly. For example, the alarm system 100 may have to wait for several “rings” before the CAMS 130 answers a telephone call.
- the alarm system 100 stores the telephone number of the CAMS 130 and places a call to the CAMS 130 when an alarm event is detected.
- the TA 108 connects to the PTS 120 and the PTS 120 and the TA 108 open or negotiate a voice channel among themselves on the communications link 152 .
- the PTS 120 is an intermediary between the alarm system 100 and the CAMS 130 .
- the MPG 110 is an intermediary between the alarm system 100 and the CAMS 130 .
- the PTS 120 is aware that the TA 108 is connected to the network 109 . Particularly, when the TA 108 is powered on, the TA 108 is configured to contact the PTS 120 via the data network 109 to establish that it is available and active. In turn, the PTS 120 may periodically “ping” the TA 108 to determine whether the TA 108 is still available and active, for service integrity monitoring and logging.
- the PTS 120 may also communicate records to the MPG 130 indicating when the TA 108 is available and active on the data network 109 , for monitoring and logging. Further, the PTS 120 may also communicate call detail records to the MPG 130 , detailing any inbound and outbound calls made and the respective timings and durations of those calls, for monitoring and logging.
- FIGS. 2-5 Before turning to the process flow diagrams of FIGS. 2-5 , it is noted that the present invention may be practiced using an alternative order of the steps illustrated in FIGS. 2-5 . That is, the process flows illustrated in FIGS. 2-5 are provided as examples only, and the present invention may be practiced using process flows that differ from those illustrated. Additionally, it is noted that not all steps are required in every embodiment. In other words, one or more of the steps may be omitted or replaced, without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. In alternative embodiments, steps may be performed in different orders, in parallel with one another, or omitted entirely, and/or certain additional steps may be performed without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention.
- the alarm system 100 detects an alarm event.
- the alarm system 100 may detect a fire, burglary, or medical emergency using one or more of the sensors of the alarm subsystem 102 or according to a button pressed on the keypad of the alarm panel 104 .
- the alarm event may be responsive to the sensors of the alarm system 102 or an individual's request for attention using the alarm panel 104 .
- the alarm system 100 initiates a call to the CAMS 130 using the TA 108 .
- the initiation of the call by the alarm system 100 to the CAMS 130 includes the alarm system 100 opening a connection to the TA 108 via the communications link 152 and receiving a standard dial tone from the TA 108 .
- the communications module 108 dials a telephone number of the CAMS 130 and waits for a connection.
- the alarm system 100 may receive “rings” from the TA 108 , as would be common when placing a standard telephone call over PSTN networks.
- the TA 108 stores an address of the PTS 120 , so that the TA 108 may connect to the PTS 120 over the data network 109 .
- the TA 108 Upon receiving the telephone number of the CAMS 130 from the alarm system 100 at step 220 , the TA 108 connects to the PTS 120 at step 230 . That is, the PTS 120 opens a voice channel to the alarm system 100 using the TA 108 via communications link 154 . In this manner, the alarm system 100 has established a voice channel between itself and the PTS 120 .
- the PTS 120 may appear to be the CAMS 130 .
- the PTS 120 may be configured to send certain protocol and connection tones to the alarm system 100 upon establishing a voice channel to the alarm system 100 .
- the alarm system 100 communicates alarm event data to the PTS 120 at step 240 .
- the alarm system 100 may communicate alarm event data representative of the alarm event detected at step 210 to the PTS 120 at step 240 using one or more industry-standard Contact ID format codes.
- the alarm system 100 may also communicate information to the PBT 120 in addition to the alarm event data, such as an account number associated with the alarm system 100 and/or an identifier of the alarm system 100 .
- the identifier may be a serial number of the alarm system 100 , a serial number of the communications module 106 , or another unique identifier associated with the alarm system 100 .
- step 250 the PTS 120 communicates the alarm event data to the MPG 130 . That is, at step 250 , the PTS 120 communicates the alarm event data received from the alarm system 100 and, in certain cases, other associated data received from the alarm system 100 to the MPG 110 over the data network 109 via communications link 156 .
- the PTS 120 may communicate the telephone number of the CAMS 130 (as dialed by the alarm system 100 ) and the account number of the alarm system 100 to the MPG 130 , when communicating the alarm event data to the MPG 130 .
- the TA 108 when the TA 108 connects to the PTS 120 to open a voice channel, the TA 108 is identified by the PTS 120 according to its pseudo serial number, and the PTS 120 may communicate the alarm event data to the MPG 130 along with the pseudo serial number of the TA 108 , for reference by the MPG 130 , at step 250 .
- the MPG 110 evaluates service parameters of the alarm system 110 and/or the alarm event data received from the alarm system 110 at step 310 . Based on the evaluation at step 310 , the MPG 110 determines whether to open a two-way voice channel. That is, at step 310 , the MPG 110 determines whether to open the two-way voice channel based on whether certain service parameters of the alarm system 100 and/or conditions of the data received from the alarm system 100 are met, as described in further detail below with reference to FIG. 5 .
- the MPG 110 may modify certain data or parameters of data received from the PTS 120 at step 240 , if necessary. It is noted that step 320 is optional and the MPG 110 may not modify any data received from the alarm system 100 , in certain cases where the data does not need to be modified. For example, if the MPG 110 maintains an updated or different telephone number for the CAMS 130 associated with the alarm system 100 in the database 116 , the MPG 110 may replace the telephone number received from the alarm system 100 with the updated telephone number for the CAMS 130 . That is, if the MPG 110 maintains an updated or different telephone number for the CAMS 130 , the MPG 110 may use the updated telephone number for all subsequent steps in the method 200 in place of the telephone number received from the alarm system 100 .
- the MPG 110 may replace the account number received from the alarm system 100 with the updated account number for the alarm system 100 .
- the MPG may also modify or replace alarm event data, such as Contact ID codes, if necessary, in certain embodiments.
- the MPG 110 provides additional flexibility in the system 10 as compared to conventional alarm systems. For example, if the alarm system 100 were to establish a communications link directly to the CAMS 130 , the alarm system monitoring service provider of the alarm system 100 is limited in opportunities to intervene, monitor, or modify the communications between the alarm system 100 and the CAMS 130 .
- the MPG 110 proceeds to step 340 and places a call to the CAMS 130 via the communications link 160 . That is, the MPG 110 establishes a communications channel to the CAMS 130 via communications link 160 using the dialer bank 118 and the receiver module 132 at step 340 . After establishing the communications channel at step 340 , the MPG 110 communicates the alarm event data received from the alarm system 100 to the CAMS 130 at step 350 . In one embodiment, the MPG 110 communicates the alarm event data to the CAMS 130 using DTMF tones.
- the MPG 110 may communicate data to the central CAMS 130 in addition to the alarm event data.
- the MPG 110 may query the database 116 at step 310 to gather and/or cross-reference data associated with the alarm system 100 .
- the MPG 110 may communicate certain additional data queried from the database 116 to the CAMS 130 when communicating the alarm event data to the CAMS 130 at step 350 .
- the MPG 110 may communicate data back to the PTS 120 in addition to any data received from the PTS 120 at step 250 .
- the MPG 110 may query the database 116 at step 310 to gather and/or cross-reference data associated with the alarm system 100 .
- the MPG 110 may communicate certain additional data queried from the database 116 to the PTS 120 when communicating the alarm event data to the PTS 120 at step 370 .
- some of the data communicated by the MPG 110 to the PTS 120 at step 370 may include data that was modified or updated by the MPG 110 at step 320 , as described above.
- the processor 114 may reference the serial number of the alarm system 100 and cross-reference it with information in the database 116 . Additionally or alternatively, to determine whether the TA 108 is provisioned, the processor 114 may reference the pseudo serial number or manufacturer's serial number of the TA 108 and cross-reference it with information in the database 116 . If the alarm system 100 is not among the known group of serviced alarm systems of the MPG 110 , the process ends at step 542 . Similarly, if the TA 108 is not among the known group of serviced TAs, the process ends at step 542 .
- the memory device 630 comprises one or more of an optical disc, a magnetic disc, a semiconductor memory (i.e., a flash based memory), a magnetic tape memory, a removable memory, combinations thereof, or any other known memory means for storing computer-readable instructions.
- the PSTN interface 640 and the network interface 650 comprise hardware interfaces to communicate over the PSTN and data networks, respectively.
- the I/O interface 660 comprises device input and output interfaces such as keyboard, pointing device, display, communication, and other interfaces.
